Not only well trained but loyal. The bulk of the royal guard is sunni mulsim which is extremely loyal to Saddam. Loyal to the point of death. The Sunnis were not present in the Gulf war. They were held back by command of Saddam. The military intelligence of America was incorrect in their assumptions that the royal guard helped occupy Kuwait. It was a big blunder.
Also, the Iraqi people, all three sects, have solidifed thanks to the sanctions put in place by the USA. There is nothing stronger than a common enemy.
